Paul Whelan from Fort William reports yet another fine salmon. Last week we had Tim Keane from Dublin breaking the record for the fishery by catching and releasing a 23lb fish. This week it is the turn of John Brock from the U.K.
He landed a beautiful cock fish of 40inch which he estimates to be about 25lbs. The fish gave a great show and was returned safely to go and do the business now.
4 more fish were landed Friday on the fishery but still no sign of a fresh yet.

Ballyduff Bridge Salmon Fishery
Ballyduff Bridge fisheries control a number of beats of the Munster Blackwater. The Ballyduff Bridge beat is almost a mile long offering a huge variety of water and is particularly suited to fly fishing. Upstream near the village of Ballyhooley (a few miles outside the town of Fermoy, Cork) we have two beats. The Ballincurrig Beat is one of the most beautiful locations along the river and has an excellent piece of fly water flowing into a deep pool. Just downstream on the opposite bank we have a short but productive beat, called Magners. This beat fishes also well in high water.
